Is this kris actually pretty stubby ?
Or is it an optical delusion ?

Battara, Thanks for the partial transcription.
Rick, It does look stubby in the photos. As Spunger called it, the blade is fatty. It somewhat reminds me of a US Civil War era artillery sword. Spunger, The blade length is 22 inches. Mid-length of the blade, the width is 2 inches and it's heavy. Here is a photo of the before and after the resto work. |

Fantastic kris with unique inlay!!!
I don't dare to mention what the star consisting of double squares (the loops makes it a star) is called (not to provoke David during X-mas ) but I can confirm that it is not a magic square. Michael |

you added the horse hoof pommel, or was it just off and you had it put back together?
